After a review of the colour wheel by the teacher, the student will create a circular shaped colour wheel on paper. The student will correctly mix and paint the correct primary and secondary colours on the colour wheel in the correct position.

The student will create a relief printmaking block using carved styrafoam. The student will print an edition of 5 signed, numbered, and dated prints.

Contrasting Collage: The societal (media, friends, etc.) pressures to act older than you are VS. Consequences (negative/positive) of giving in to that pressure

This is an assignment to teach the student the power of shading values, by drawing a still life. Shadows make parts of the artwork appear to go back. Highlights bring other parts toward us. A gradient is a subtle change from shadows to highlights. Gradients done right give the appearance of 3D forms, not just shapes.

Four selected still life drawings in various color schemes will be mounted and then will be evaluated and graded using the following rubric.

A rubric that evaluates the artistic process and researched information for an acrylic painting. It measures the various phases, research applications, and approaches necessary for style interpretation into the assessment of an acrylic painting project.

After studying the handout on the element of line, students were asked to draw a fall still life, using contour lines to create the shapes of the gourds, corn and pumpkins, then they were to paint the still life in watercolor paint to complete the drawing. The point of the contour line was to enable the student to create the illusion of three dimensions. The success of the painting hinged on furthering that look with careful use of overlapping line, drawing the mat the objects were placed on drawing a horizon line to keep the objects from floating, using creativity in the background to create an interesting painting. The time allowed for this project was a week and two days, thus enabling every student to have a chance at success.

Students will demonstrate shading skills using graphite pencils in order to turn flat shapes into three dimensional forms. Students will effectively use a light source, a full range of values, and reflected highlights in their assessment.

This is an assignment to teach the student the power of shading values, by drawing two dimensional shapes into three dimensional shaded forms.

Assess the students understanding of the Principles and Elements of design. They will be given a brief test asking them to list and define the primary principles and elements of design. They will be provided a worksheet with all visual elements required to complete the exercise. They must be guided by design principles as they organize and design an original page layout. These collective exercises will then be hung on the wall where a group evaluation will be discussed. Each student will be asked to share their concerns as they worked to solve this visual problem.

Used for various Digital Photo assignments focusing on an element or principle

The student will create a relief printmaking block using carved styrafoam. The student will print an edition of 5 signed, numbered, and dated prints.

Students will create a well crafted and highly detailed Observational Realistic Self-Portrait by looking in a mirror and referring to a reference photograph of themselves that was created from a photo-shoot designed by the individual student. Students employ the five drawing skills that were developed during the first semester to achieve this cumulative assessment piece. Students must have a definite light source, broad value range, and great attention to detail.

Students will evaluate their pottery piece based on their experience on the wheel and the outcome of their completed pot.

After the Elements and Principles of Art unity you will be asked to be to name all the elements and principles of art as well as know, describe, and demonstrate examples. In this assessment students will work on demonstrating the Elements and Principles by drawing and using materials in the classroom. While students are working they will be called up one by one and be asked to name and give examples of each element and principle.
